Happy Booth

A Multi-Format Photobooth Service in Lausanne

Happy Booth is a photobooth rental company based in Lausanne, Vaud, and has operated since 2018. The business is an established provider for private and professional events across Switzerland, and is described as a family-owned and local specialist in photobooth rental. The Lausanne page states that 100% of its clients are satisfied and emphasizes professionalism and good humor during every service.

Happy Booth offers 6 distinct photobooth models, each with different aesthetic and technical features. This variety allows couples to match the photobooth style to their wedding theme and the atmosphere they want to create. The company serves Lausanne and the canton of Vaud (including the Riviera, Nyon to Montreux, and the northern Vaud region), with additional services available in Geneva, Neuchâtel, and other Swiss cities.

The Photobooth Models and Pricing

The company offers 6 booth models. The Mirror booth presents a full-length reflective display that lets guests see themselves head to toe before taking photos. The Rainbow booth is a stylized model with rainbow lighting designed to draw attention and create a cool, fun aesthetic. The Icon booth is positioned as the premium option, with an elegant wood design and modern aesthetic described as refined and exclusive. The 360 Happy Booth records immersive videos that guests can record with effects, music, and movement before downloading to their phones. The Retro booth is a compact, vintage-styled photomaton with a touchscreen and mirror effect. Finally, the Phone Booth is an audio guestbook styled as a vintage telephone, autonomous and requiring no Wi-Fi or electricity, with clear audio quality for recording voice messages.

Pricing depends on the model and customization. The website states that rental costs range from CHF 700 to CHF 1250, depending on which equipment is chosen and the level of personalization desired. Transport fees are not included in that range. The Lausanne page names one exact price: the Retro booth, the most compact model, costs CHF 750 all-inclusive with transport offered in Lausanne. The same page says the interactive mirror and the 360 booth are delivered in Lausanne without transport fees, and the Icon booth listing includes delivery, installation and pickup with transport offered in Lausanne. For venues outside Lausanne, the site does not give a transport rate, so couples need a quote.

Rental Process and Timeline

Happy Booth outlines its rental process in 8 steps. First, the couple contacts the company to request a quote. Second, Happy Booth proposes different photobooth options and sends a quote. Third, once the quote is accepted, the company sends a rental contract and invoice. Fourth, the team personalizes the frames and videos according to the couple's preferences. Fifth, on the wedding day, the equipment is installed at the agreed time. Sixth, there is an option to have a host on site for an additional cost, and the site does not publish its price. The home page FAQ adds that a Lausanne rental includes remote assistance throughout the event, so without a host the team is still reachable. Seventh, the company retrieves the equipment the same day or the next day, as agreed. Eighth, the photos are sent to the couple via WeTransfer after the event.

The site states that couples can arrange a rental just a few days before the event if availability remains, though the company recommends contacting as early as possible to ensure the desired photobooth is still available. The home page also notes that the Retro booth, the most compact of the range, fits even into small spaces.

Customization and Technical Capabilities

Every photobooth at Happy Booth is customizable. The company creates different frames and boomerangs (short video clips) personalized to the event's theme and colors. Guests can choose from the team's designs or request custom options. The site emphasizes that there is no limit to customization possibilities.

On most booths, guests can sign, draw, or add emojis to their photos before printing. Unlimited printing is included with most models, so guests can take and print as many copies as they want. Photos can be sent immediately by email or shared on social media via QR code. Boomerangs (short video loops) can be shared instantly to social-media platforms on booths that record video.

The Mirror booth specifically lists its language capabilities: the interface is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. This multilingual feature is valuable for destination weddings with international guests. The booth can send photos to email instantaneously and offers unlimited prints.

The Icon booth, the premium model, includes a large rear screen and front touchscreen that can display personalized content, branded messages, or highlights from the event. Custom frame designs are created by the company's in-house designer. The booth features professional camera equipment and studio-quality lighting. Delivery, installation, and pickup are included, and transport to Lausanne venues is free.

The 360 Happy Booth records videos solo or in groups and allows guests to add effects, music, and movement. Custom branded overlays can be applied, making it suitable for marketing campaigns or brand activation. Videos are delivered instantly to the guest's phone.

Logistics and Language

Happy Booth's address is Avenue des Mousquines 36, 1005 Lausanne. The company is open Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00. All contact, setup, delivery, and retrieval of equipment are handled by Happy Booth's team, so couples do not need to manage logistics beyond choosing a model and confirming the date.

The site is written mainly in French and offers language links for French, English and German. It does not say which languages the team speaks, so couples from abroad should write in English and ask. The team can be reached by phone (+41 79 244 72 17), by email (hello@thehappybooth.net) or through the contact form. The company trades as Happy Booth, Benoit Entertainment.

Event Types Served

Happy Booth markets its service for weddings, corporate events (team building, product launches, brand reinforcement), birthdays, baby showers, student parties, graduations, Christmas parties, and team-building events. The site's case studies and gallery showcase examples from different event types, though specific couple testimonials are not included.

The versatility of the 6 models means couples can select a booth that matches the tone of their wedding. The Mirror booth and Icon booth suit upscale or formal events, while the Rainbow and Retro options work for casual, fun celebrations. The 360 booth appeals to couples who want something immersive and video-focused. The Phone Booth audio guestbook offers an alternative to traditional photo memories, recording voice messages instead.

What the Site Does Not Address

Happy Booth's website does not publish a standard fee for on-site hosting or for customization design time, so couples would need to request these details. The site does not specify guest capacity or the floor space each booth needs. The delivery cost for locations outside Lausanne is not shown on the website; couples need to contact the company to calculate this based on their venue.

The booking timeline for design customization is not detailed, so couples should confirm how far in advance to submit design preferences and how long approval takes.

Who This Service Suits

Happy Booth is suitable for destination weddings in Western Switzerland, especially venues in or near Lausanne, where delivery costs may be minimal or waived. The multilingual Mirror booth option is particularly valuable for international couples or mixed-language guest lists. The range of aesthetic options allows couples to match the photobooth style to their wedding's visual identity, from premium (Icon) to fun and casual (Rainbow, Retro). The inclusion of digital delivery and social-media sharing means guests can carry away both physical prints and digital memories immediately.

For couples who care about how the booth looks in the room, the 6 models and the custom frames give real choice. The caveats are transport costs outside Lausanne, a host who costs extra, and a site that is mostly in French.
